IntelliTXT Implementation Instructions

 

IntelliTXT Technology Overview

When the IntelliTXT code is added to a web page our system scans the text on the page searching for relevant words and phrases. The words and phrases are then matched against Vibrant's database of suitable advertisers and/or relevant content on your site.

Vibrant In-Text Ads:
The selected advertising words are identified in green with double underlines. Once a user mouses-over the highlighted word, a clickable unit (called a 'Tooltip') will appear. The Tooltip contains an advertiser message and gives the user the option to click through to the message in the unit.

Vibrant Related Content:
The selected editorial words are identified using the site's standard linking style, but adds a small magnifying glass to signify information has been returned. Upon mouse-over, a unit will appear containing additional editorial content, giving the user the option to click through to the returned articles.

Quality Guidelines for IntelliTXT Publishers

Content NOT accepted by Vibrant:

• Violence
• Pornography
• Graphic or extreme sexual references (words and/or images)
• Weapons
• Gambling
• Illegal activities
• Material that violates intellectual property rights of third parties or promotes
• Software piracy

User Generated content should be monitored for profanity and explicit terms

The website should NOT:

• Copy or frame content that is owned by another party
• Provide incentives for users to click onto advertisements
• Automatically install or force a user to download files/programs
• Link to other websites that offer unapproved content as mentioned above

Implementing IntelliTXT

Vibrant will provide you a JavaScript tag that will allow our IntelliTXT technology to run on your web site. The correct placement of these tags is essential for IntelliTXT performance. The JavaScript code must be placed just before the close BODY tag (< /body >) of your web pages.

IntelliTXT technology is designed to be the last element to load on a web page. Typical load time is 1 second or less after all other scripts, text and images load.

Example of proper tag placement:*

< !-- start Vibrant IntelliTXT script section -- >
< script type="text/javascript"
src="http://yourdomain.us.intellitxt.com/intellitxt/front.asp?ipid=1234">< /script >
< !-- end Vibrant IntelliTXT script section-- >
< /body >
< /html >

*This is only an example, please use the correct tags provided specifically for your web site.

Please note:

1. The JavaScript line should never be broken; it must be on a single line.
2. The JavaScript must always be placed just above the close < /body > tag.
3. Only add the IntelliTXT code to pages you want IntelliTXT to be applied - preferably content rich pages. Avoid placing tags on Forms, Thank You or other pages with little to no content.
4. IntelliTXT will be limited to running on the domain of your web site. If you have other domains you would like to run IntelliTXT on, please let your account manager know. They will evalutate each site and if approved, new tags will be issued for that site.

For partners who have complex site templates or content management systems that may be difficult to manipulate, IntelliTXT will work efficiently without need for optimization; however, for graphically heavy or long content pages it may take a couple additional seconds for the page to fully contextualize.

Note: Vibrant's relevancy & optimization technology benefits from having our ad code on all pages of a site (including Home and Index pages). Please place relevant code across the site and send a note to your account manager with any URLs where you don't want Vibrant links to appear.

Supported Browsers

Windows 98 and up Internet Explorer 5.0 + Netscape 7.0 + Firefox 1.0 + Mozilla 1.7 + Opera 8.5

Linux Firefox 1.0 + Mozilla 1.7 +

Macintosh OSX and up Firefox 1.0 + Safari 1.2

If a user is viewing your site on an unsupported browser or operating system, he will simply not see any IntelliTXT. Similarly, if the user does not have JavaScript enabled, he will not be able to see IntelliTXT.

Customizing IntelliTxT

By default IntelliTXT scans every text word on a web page in search of relevant keywords. When we set up your IntelliTXT account, we go through the content pages and pick the Classes, IDs and HTML elements of the areas where IntelliTXT should not be served in. These we add as exclusions in order to ensure that i.e. titles, subtitles, headers and teaser texts do not show any IntelliTXT links. Navigation lists, forms, iframes, ad links and hyper links are excluded from IntelliTXT by default.

In cases that we will not be able to do these exclusions for you, we will get in touch with you and find a solution. This would be the case if a) there is no HTML style element associated with that particular content area, b) there is no CSS CLASS/ID associated with that particular content area or c) your site uses the same CSS CLASS/ID also for content where we want to serve IntelliTXT.

Trouble Shooting

Can't See IntelliTXT? There could be several reasons that IntelliTXT would not display properly on your pages. Please review the above instructions first to ensure that the IntelliTXT code is implemented correctly on your pages.

Once this is verified, provided below is a list of common issues our partners have experienced during implementation:

1. Did you place the JavaScript tags at the bottom of your pages just before the < /body > tag?
2. Did you place the JavaScript on web pages served from the same domain listed in your Vibrant Agreement? In other words, if you requested tags for "mysite.com" then your pages must be served on pages from that domain.
3. Did you use the correct tags for the content of your page? For example: On pages with computer related content, you must use the tag provided for your computer pages.
4. Did you verify that you are using a supported browser?
5. Is your browser JavaScript enabled? (See above section under "Supported Browsers").
6. Lastly, it is possible (albeit not common), that there may not be suitable advertisers for some of your pages at this time. Also, the advertising we provide is country specific - as determined by your IP address. Hence, a user viewing your site from the United States may see IntelliTXT, but a user from Finland may not, as we currently do not provide advertisements for users located in Finland.

If the above scenarios are not applicable and you continue to experience difficulty integrating IntelliTXT on your site, please contact your Account Manager for further assistance or you can contact Vibrant Support directly at: Support@vibrantmedia.com
